Am I expected to participate in the edit review process once I reach 2K rep?

A few days ago, I reached 2K rep on SO. This unlocked the review queue for me. however, there are several issues I have with this:

  1. I'm getting edit reviews for languages that I'm not at all familiar with and where I have no idea how accurate the edits are.
  2. I have less than 2 years of experience across all languages, basically a Junior profile. I have severe doubts that I am qualified to do any edit reviews.
  3. I have no interest in doing any edit reviews. I get that this is quite controversial, but I use SO to look for answers for problems I have and occasionally to help other people with their problems by answering their problems. I personally don't think that reviewing edits fits in that usage profile.
  4. I am not yet familiar enough with the SO editing rules to confidently approve or reject reviews.

These issues can obviously fix themselves over time, but at this point in time, I have no interest at all in doing edit reviews, nor do I think it is in the best interest of SO that I am doing them due to my lack of experience. A few moments ago, I did my first edit review queue and I just skipped all the edits because of the above reasons.

Obviously, I want to keep using SO and follow the rules while doing so, but I'd rather do this without edit reviews for now. Is this an option?


After a few days of cautiously trying out the edit review queue, I feel a bit more comfortable doing this. As stated, most of the edits are simple grammar cleanups, which I think I can handle.

I think part of the issue was that I didn't really have a good idea how to handle this queue, what was expected of me. After a few approvals, rejections and skips, I think I can handle this somewhat. It was just somewhat unexpected to suddenly see this pop up.
